FYI - For those interested in bootup time improvements on MIPS processors, here is some information about the recently developed MIPS prelinking feature, done by CodeSourcery and MIPS Technologies.

http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS6220941326.html

This press release does not mention CELF, but it should be noted that the first public demonstration of this technology was performed (I believe) at the recent CELF technical jamboree, in Tokyo Japan, held just last Friday (Oct 27).

See http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/JapanTechnicalJamboree11
for information about the jamboree. The presentation about this technology which was delivered at the meeting is at:

http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/JapanTechnicalJamboree11?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=MIPS-Prelinker.pdf

MIPS and CodeSourcery brought a demo so we got to do some actual speed comparisons live at the event. It was fun!

The patches are showing up piecemeal now on the various mailing lists, I also dumped a debian-styleish patchset at ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/ths/mips-prelinker-patches-debian/

Who know anymore about prelink for mips architecture? Let me know prelink for mips detaily.
Thanks in advance.

There's a white paper available. See the linuxdevices article for a link to it:
